Thrift Pop-Up!
Thrifting With The BNC!
We started a Thrift Pop-Up! It started as a "Winter Clothing Drive" in 2022 but with so many donations we decided to stay open and transform it into a Trift Shop Pop-Up on campus! We have many items that can benefit our students, we have as much clothing as it gets donated. Items include clothing, accessories, shoes, bedding, and academic and household supplies. Every item in our thrift has been donated by the University of Utah community which includes students, staff, faculty, alumni, and more! Everything is donated, and everything is FREE! Just remember to fill out our Survey of Usage located on our welcome board.
We are partnered with the Office of Alumni Relations, Office of Sustainability, Business Career Services, ASUU, USHE, and more!
Professional Clothing Drive: March 25th - April 18th 2024!
Collection bins located at:
- The Basic Needs Collective
- The College of Nursing Advising Office
- The College of Social Work Advising Office
- The Peterson Heritage Center (PHC)
- The Marriot Library, west entrance
How to get involved
The only items we do accept all year round are professional clothing items since they are always in high demand for student interviews, presentations, jobs, etc. Please email us @basicneedscollective@sa.utah.edu in advance if you will bring items to our space or if you have questions about us accepting certain donations.
Follow our Instagram for updates on future drives! @UofU_BasicNeeds
On average, people donate 1-5 items, and people take 1-5 items. All respondents endorsed that they think this project is useful, would recommend it to others, and want to see it thrive and grow!
